{FFwD} gnocchi a la parisienne

Have you seen those prepackaged packages of gnocchi at the grocery store? They are perfectly formed little balls of dumpling glory.

Mine were not perfect but my family loved them. Hubs said it was really good but the sauce could use a little more flavor and he was having a bit of difficulty with the texture. Knowing that they were dumplings though, made it a little easier to swallow. hehe

Munchkin really liked it and said she would eat this dish again.

Little Man asked how much he had to eat and proceeded to choke on a piece of gnocchi. Did I mention this one has some sensory issues? Peanut butter is his best friend.

I did not get to try it as I am only eating fruit, vegetables and whole grains this month, It looked delicious though.

I did make a couple of subs. I used 1% milk instead of whole, because that is what I had on hand. I also used mozzarella cheese rather than Gruyère again, because that is what I had on hand. The other cheese probably would have helped with the extra flavor though.

This was an interesting recipe for me to make. It came together fairly quickly but used a lot of dishes. The fam liked it and I think it is one that I will for sure make again. :) If you would like to see how many other bakers around the world did with the gnocchi make sure to check out the LYL over at French Friday's with Dorie.
